One of the most difficult reading concepts to learn in the English language is the vowel combinations or vowel teams. Well, not anymore. I have made the process fun, memorable and multisensory with my workbook entitled Vowel Combinations Made Easy. It was created for my own students and I have found it to be extremely successful. Students learn their vowel combinations by finding them hidden in images, coloring, doing mazes and playing card games. What's more, I am now offering a free sampling of my workbook, so you can have the opportunity to see some of the activities.

Teaching students about how to
make inferences can be challenging. Unlike most of the concrete learning
that they encounter, this is an abstract notion. However, most students
love the idea of finding or uncovering a hidden message. So, explaining that,
like a detective, they can solve the secret code, students will find this both
appealing and exciting. Here are four activities that you can do to help even
the youngest of learners find joy in searching for inferences.

Look through magazine images and see if you can
uncover any hidden messages.

When traveling look at billboards and see if you
can point out any inferences.

Look at the images on book covers and see what
kind of hidden messages they might include that tell you a little bit about the
story.

When watching TV pay attention to the
advertisements.What kinds of
secret messages are implied?

If you would prefer to use a 60 page
workbook, with images, activities and games, you can always purchase Making
Inferences, The Fun and Easy Way to Understand and Practice Implied Meaning. I also offer a free downloadable sample
